Don't worry about the quality of the restaurants. Trans fats don't taste any different than other fats, they just have a longer shelf life (which is why fast food companies loved them). You can fry something in an equivalent non-trans fat and it will taste the same. It still won't be "healthy," but it won't be quite as bad for you as a trans fat fried food.
 
I heard somewhere that trans fats don't actually become trans fats until your body metabolizes them (or whatever the process is) to convert the fat into a trans fat. => Useless law?
 
People blame Trans Fats for their wide behinds... we need to start taking responsibility for our own extra pounds and stop eating so much...

No, they blame them for the number one cause of death: heart disease.

But trans fats have also been found in scientific studies to lower high-density lipoproteins, the ?good? cholesterol, while increasing low-density lipoproteins, the ?bad? cholesterol, high levels of which contribute to the onset of heart disease, the leading cause of death in California and the nation.

Bye McDonalds! Is this law really necessary? Seriously, if the country would be smart enough to think about what they're eating we wouldn't have this porblem! I say that if people are that dumb, they deserve to be fat. But the fat people complain so of course they get the resturaunts THEY BUY FROM to suffer because they were stupid enough to eat there! Its just like winning one of those stupid lawsuits like the woman who spills hot coffee on herself, sues mcdonalds, and wins. This is a classic example of people who are plain incompetent. I am not trying to offend anyone with this post! I hope i make that clear. I understand some people have certain abnomalities, bad metabolism, or other causes that weight is an uncontrollable factor. Thats my stand.

As a fun note: Just go out and be a farmer, eat your corn and cattle. They're the true geniuses =D
 
Bye McDonalds!
not really mcdonalds has the money to quickly change their use of tran fat content
plus they were already removing it cause of the complaints of fat kid's parents
its more likely effect small business like maw and pop hamburger shops and such causing them to rise there prices driving away business
right into the hand of fastfood companys.
